The Louisiana, Arkansas and
Missouri railroad will surely be sue
cess. Judge Harlow NJ. Hoyt, the
general counselor of the road, who was
in Alexandria few weeks back, and
met with such great success, addressed
meetings at Trinity and Harrisonburg
last week, and both meetings unani-
mously passed the following:
RESOLVED, That we, as citizens of Gaia
houla parish, declare it to be the sense of
this meeting that we will vote to the La,
Ark, railroad company, its successors OF
assigns, Il five mill tax upon the assessed
valuation of this parish for term of ten
years; that We will not only ourselves
vote for such tax, but that we will work
to secure the votes of other citizens of this
parish in favor of the passage of such tax;
that we will procure for said company the
right of way through this parish, aud will
individually solicit donations of land from
the owners thereof living or owning pro-
perty on the proposed line of said road to
said company, its successors or assigns.
The people in the two towns named
above are enthnsed on this railroad en-
terprise, and they do not care how
soon they the locomotives whistle.

The plows and other farming i'm
plements exhibited here few weeks
back by Messrs. Stewart and Perclval,
agents, Of Deere & Co., Moline, ILL.,,
are the best ever brought to this par
ish both as to quality and makeup, and
received more attention from the far
ming community hereabouts. All who
saw the implements and machines
at work were Of one opinion, viz
they were just what has been needed
in Rapides parish a long time, for the
reason that they were the latest i'm
proved and done better work, and
were really labor saving apparatuses.
Those of our planters who are trying
to keep up with the times, and who
each purchased the John Deere double
breaking pillow, are-Pin H. Hynson,
D. W. Hynson, VIM. Harris, George
Kelso, and w. P. Flower. Mr.. Geo.
Robinson purchased a cultivator of
the John Deere patent. Sheriff Paul
bought one of the j no Deere new Deal
gang plows. An agency Of this house
is at I. G. Miller 4 Cos, where all
these improved agricultural imple-
ments are on sale, and our planters
and farmers should invest in one or
more of them, which in the long run
will prove money and time to them.

DIR. FORD PLEADS GUILTY.-By
reference to our telegraphic columns it
will he seen that DR.. 7. G. Ford,
charged with the killing of Kirkpat-
rick, yesterday pleaded pleaded guilty
to manslaughter. This plea was ac-
cepted by District Attorney Adams,
and the case, SO far as the courts are
concerned, was closed.
1t now rests with the board of par
dons to say whether or not a man who
Stays seducer, the polluter of his
own and his children's happiness, shall
be permitted to undergo punishment
in the State Of Louisiana. In years
past it has been our boast that no man
could rob a home of its virtue and
happiness, and live. And we say it
proudly in DR.. Ford's behalf that he
has done nothing to cause us to with
draw that boast. To-day he stands
as the highest and noblest type of the
Southern gentleman, ready to avenge
family honor, even if it involve the
taking of life. His act deserved our
plaudits tt has received them without
stint. Everywhere have come express
sions of approval, and no heartier REC
ognition Of his act should come from
any source than from the Board of
Pardons, composed as it is in this in
stance. of q noble specimen of the Chi
valric Creole, as the presiding Judge;
of an equally noble type of the same
race in the person of our lieutenant
governor, and of the strong, sturdy,
big hearted Anglo-Saxon, who now so
acceptably fills the Office of attorney
general.
The Board of Pardons will send DR..
Ford back to the people who have
stood by him as man in his trouble.
